Notably absent is any Cherry MX Red or Blue option. (All models carry the same $200 price tag.) The K95 Platinum RGB comes in a few different configurations: There’s a black model with Cherry MX RGB Brown switches or RGB Speed switches, or you can opt for the gunmetal gray finish with the RGB Speed switches. The unit we have on hand is equipped with Cherry MX Speed switches.

You get the top-right volume roller and mute button that’s common to Corsair’s higher-end keyboards, although Corsair said that the roller is now “larger and smoother in operation” than previous models. You’ll also notice a slightly different set of dedicated media buttons. Try not to damage the rubber when doing so.

You need either long fingernails or some kind of flat tool to pry it off. Even though the rubber piece attaches to the plastic portion of the wrist rest with magnets, we found it bizarrely difficult to detach. Simply, one side is a bit more textured than the other. (This is ideal for headsets less so for mice.) The wrist rest is still detachable, but it has a dual-sided piece of rubber that you can flip over. The cable routing extends to the wrist rest, though, so you can run your mouse cable safely through it and out the bottom.
